My Personal Statement for UCAS application Draft 1 :
A career in Medicine is one that requires the application of professional knowledge, a love for life and mankind, and the ever-ready motivation to improve and engage in life-long learning. This career had intrigued me and is something that I believe I have the caliber for. I desire to be part of this noble profession that works with the mission to save lives.
For the past two years, I had been volunteering at two hospitals to help those suffering from disease. The volunteering experience allowed me direct contact with patients and I had since been more able better to understand the needs the ill. The interaction with patients at the hospitals gave me a personal account of how the doctors had helped to improve their lifestyles, increasing my admiration to the medical workers and indirectly inspiring me to want to do the same things.
In school, I have always been very interested in the sciences, especially Chemistry and Biology. The precision and objectivity of science are things that I like and am good at. Outside of the academic school life, I play the ‘ZhongRuan”, a guitar-like instrument, in the school’s Chinese Orchestra. We have just won a Gold award in the recent Singapore Youth Festival. I am also the Graphics and Layout Editor of the School’s magazine. In secondary school, I was part of the school’s Chinese Drama Society taking part in both acting as well as doing promotions and make-up as a backstage crew. Being a school Prefect for three years in secondary school had taught me organization and interpersonal communication skills.
I had studied Japanese for the past five years and obtained a Pass in the International Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2 (Level one being the highest standard). I was very fortunate to be chosen to take part in the Biennial Students Exchange Programme to Sapporo, Japan in 1999-2000 organized by the Singapore Ministry of Education Language Centre.
Last December, I took up a part-time job at the Science Discovery Camp organized by the YMCA and was leader who assisted the teacher to teach children aged 10-12 science in an interesting way through experiments and field trips.
In taking a medical course, I hope to specialize in forensic medicine or the endocrine system. The forensic science had been a branch of medicine that is not ‘well-received’ in an Asian society like Singapore because of the social stigma often attached to it. However, I will like to do something in this area of medicine especially since I do not mind the work associated to it. Having suffered from hyperthyrotoxicosis for the past five years, I am particularly interested in the endocrine area of medicine too. If given the opportunity, I will like to work voluntarily someday in the less-developed nations to enable the less fortunate to also enjoy first-rated medical treatment.
Questions: Should I include performing in Chingay parade?
Will putting in my medical condition undermine my chances
feedback!!!!!! suggestions!!!!!! best still... proofread for me?????? haha...... PLEASE~ (^-^)
not going for grad night... never enjoyed such occassions... (though I must say that the st nicks grad night was mmorable...) feeling guilty as that means that I'm abandoning my class and Singhui (my good friend in class) will be going for it without me... but the 'anti-desire' to attend grad night and the idea of having to go through all the trouble of looking for a prom dress and getting ready for it is enough to get me put off. sorry.... not that I dun like my class (though I like 4 Diligence better.... :p) just that I truly dun like these kinda things....

You are Kimura Takuya!!
Brought to you by
Which member of smap are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
heck!! Takuya willing to marry Shizuka after getting her pregnant is an indication that this man is GOOD!! he's willing to take up the responsiblity even if it's gonna make him lose his popularity (trust me... it did a little) he's THE man that every girl want!! that person who created it is gonna be a guy... he doesn't understand girls!! why else do you think Takuya is so... attractive? and who says Takuya doesn't talk? he doesn't just look good... he is talented!! and why he doesn't talk too much on TV? becuase he gives the chance to the other members! those television host is always trying to ask him questions... he answers a bit and direct the question to the others so that the rest can get a chance to speak too! otherwise... the WHOLE interview will be a Takuya Kimura interview and not a SMAP interview! ok??!!
but i agree... shouldn't let takuya rap... as in talk... it's horrendous... when he speaks on his radio programme... it's madness! a particular example...
from a postcard: Kimura san... I realised that in a scene in your new drama, Good Luck!!. the banana grew longer as you eat it! (probably from re-taking the scene with a 'new' banana)
Takuya: the banana grew longer? how can this be? bananas don't grow longer... well... unless you're talking about my banana... *think slanted* (-_-'')
this mister spoke these words on national radio... where the WHOLE of Japan can hear him... and alot from the internet either download it... or read it... so... yes... should not let Takuya speak... this person doesn't care about his image!! ha... that's why I like him... he's not the usual pop star... he's a PERSON with blood and flesh... alive and real... (^-^)
CLARE~!!!! you mean I can get a SPF scholarship to do pathology without taking medicine????!!! info please??!! goodness! that will be a dream come true!! info info info PLEASE???!!
going to the uk for medicine will cost me approx $5000 per month for the first two years and approx $6000 per month for the next three years... (all expenses included) ouch! it's ok... for my fam but honestly... i dunno if i want to lead 5-6 years of poor student life.... and... what if i regret? argh! i just wanna take pathology!!! at least that's what i THINK i want...

OK.... I've succumbed to all the temptations... heck... this is my thought process and I dun mind people reading about it... I'm sure I know know to write and what not... If it's about myself... I'm not afraid of people knowing, it it's not... I won't write it!!
Been to scholarship talks yesterday... time I start thinking about my future.... something I have put aside for a long time... not wanting to think about it as the thought process always gives me a headache... the disc result... has once again shown me as a high C person... conscientiousness... and the jobs suitable for me aill be... the medical profession, the legal profession (cooperate and cinveyance), accountancy and engineering. Always thought that I might like a people related profession... something that allowsa me to interact with different people.... but come to think of it... I'm not exactly a people person... I prefer clogging up in my room with the computer than a loud party or prom... I prefer doing my own work rather than going out to socialise... I have no fear in meeting people... but no preferance towards it too. maybe something that doesn't make me interact with people in a personal manner will be good... the professions listed above.
I've always wanted in a way or another to go into the medical profession... but it is like a distant dream for me. How can I compete with the 1000 oever applicant per year to get a place in the 220-240 choosen each year? maybe I should go abroad... to one of the england approved unis to do my medical course... actually... pathology is what I wanna do... but that's AFTER I get a medical licence...
thought that a scholarship is a good idea... a good stepping stone to the future and stuff... but my GP is pok... and the fact that I'm not invited to the firefly scholarship tea session implies that I'm not one of those high fliers in singapore. besides... do I wanna be bonded for 6 years? Is that really what I wanna do? and the fact that there are only 4-6 reciepients of the CAAS scholarship and 35 to flirefly... my chances are... LOW.
whatever... what's most important now is to work hard and get the As that I know I want. If I can get the results... to study a course that I want will never be difficult will it? GANBARU ZO~
dear pals... do work hard too kae? It's our final dash period... for your dreams... GOOD LUCK!!
